Macos M1 Ventura 13.0.1 Elastic agent install fail

[xqaiviwjxzw]

I installed the elastic agent on macos Ventura 13.0.1 using the command line and the installation failed showing：

panic: getwd: invalid argument

goroutine 1 [running]:

github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths.retrieveExecutablePath()

github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths/common.go:197 +0x148

github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application/paths.init.0()

Command used：
sudo . /elastic-agent install --url=https://xx.xx --enrollment-token=xx --insecure --force

What is the solution to this?

[Lee_Hinman]

which version of elastic-agent are you trying to install?

Also, just to double check. Are you using the aarch64 version or the x86_64 version?

Also does the Terminal application that you are installing from have Full Disk Access? We have seen the install fail on Ventura when it doesn't.

[xqaiviwjxzw]

The installation package used is the arch64 version.The installation is failing, the option is not yet displayed in the full disk access rights.

I have tried to use the installation package of elastic agent 8.5.0 and elastic agent 8.5.3, but the installation failed, what is the solution? Or is this a bug?

[xqaiviwjxzw]

The first time the installation is performed the error shows：

Error: failed to fix permissions: chown /Library/Elastic/Agent/data/elastic-agent-xxx/elastic-agent.app: operation not permitted

I'm having the same issue on macOS Ventura.

When trying to install elastic agent on Mac, it fails with Error: failed to fix permissions: chown /Library/Elastic/Agent/data/elastic-agent-{code}/elastic-agent.app: operation not permitted error.

Agent is visible on elastic fleet but when searching for elastic files on /Library/Elastic/, I see an empty directory. The /Library/Elastic directory is created, but there is no Agent sub-directory.

Fetch agent status via elastic-agent status throws command not found: elastic-agent error.

Unable to uninstall using sudo /Library/Elastic/Agent/elastic-agent uninstall too.

Tried using 2 different machines running Ventura. They have the same problem. Previous OS versions work just fine.

Failing OS details : macOS Ventura 13.0.1

solution:

Add full access to the hard disk to the terminal application.
